ASTM A516 Grade 60 steel, as represented by the tension test specimens, shall conform to the requirements given in Table 2.
ASTM A516 Grade 60 plates 1.50 in. [40 mm] and under in thickness are normally supplied in the as-rolled condition. The plates may be ordered normalized or stress relieved, or both. ASTM A516 Grade 60 plates over 1.50 in. [40 mm] in thickness shall be normalized.
ASTM A516 plates under this specification are available in four grades having different strength levels as follows:
Grade U.S. [SI] Tensile Strength, ksi [MPa]
55 [380] 55–75 [380–515]
60 [415] 60–80 [415–550]
65 [450] 65–85 [450–585]
70 [485] 70–90 [485–620]
ASTM A516 Grade 60 steel plates supplied to this product specification shall con- form to Specification A 20/A 20M, which outlines the testing and retesting methods and procedures, permissible variations in dimensions and mass, quality and repair of defects, marking, loading, and so forth. Katalor has large stock of ASTM A516 Grade 60 steel plates, and we can also order the ASTM A516 Grade 60 future goods as your demanding sizes and detail requirements if the quantity is favorable.
